Music hole on purevolume!

I was browsing purevolume.com and listening to albums with their flash music player. It got me wondering, does it stream the music or download to my computer? So I checked /tmp and found that they were in /tmp/plugtmp. Sure enough it downloads them in a hashed file without an extension or id3 tags. This works on the songs they don’t even allow you to download. I do not know if this does the same on windows or not.
Here is how I discovered this:
- Listened to the full song
- Wondered what I said above
- Checked /tmp/plugtmp
- Opened the hashed files in mplayer
NOTE: I do not take responsibility for anything you do or get in trouble for using this method of obtaining music. I fully support buying music but decided it would be good to get this out there so a good site doesn’t get sued by the RIAA.

works exactly the same in windows, just have to rename the file. Have to do it before you change page at purevolume or they autodelete

Correct, if you have updated Flash. Anything above flash 7 (and possibly 8) fixes this issue. It was apparently issues with other sites and part of flash itself.
